The ceramic Christmas tree you see above has been in Katherine’s room for the past month. We turn it on each night at bedtime for her. My grandmother made it and I remember it being up in our house every Christmas as a child. I think I asked to have it in my own home very shortly after Ted and I got married and it’s been up every Christmas since. The ceramic has gotten brittle over the years and there’s a small chip at the back of the star that I wish could be fixed but I’m not sure how. The light on the base is quite loose however I recently discovered someone on Ebay who makes replacement bases (actually I think he makes the trees too so he might be a resource on how to get that chip repaired...hmmm put that on the "to do" list). I’m keeping it until it completely cracks apart.
The Santa sightings continue. He stopped by school/daycare yesterday for a quick hello. I asked Katherine if she had a chance to talk to him and she said yes. “What did you say?” “I want a Transformer.” Talk about getting right to the point, dude better produce come Christmas morning.
My parents sent her a video email message from Portable Santa. Seriously, if you have little kids and have not heard of this sight you need to go there and do one. It’s free too! Katherine loves it; she’s viewed it multiple times and each time eagerly responds to Santa’s questions.
And she’ll have one more chance to see the Big Guy before he starts his journey around the world. He’ll be heading up to the Fawn Lake Community Center at Ted’s parents tomorrow night for story time. You know there will be one enthusiastic little girl in the crowd…who will probably yell out one more time that she wants a Transformer. Better safe than sorry!

Thank you for the PNP website! That is AWESOME!
You know, that chip behind the star has been there for years. Also, you could probably help the glaze and ceramic a bit by switching to a cooler compact fluorescent bulb.
